What future Hall of Famer is in danger of not having their jersey retired by any organisation? (alien.top)

In the days of player empowerment and constant moving around teams, it feels like there are more players than ever that are guarantees for the Hall... but possibly no teams that want to hang their number in the rafters. Who do you reckon falls into this category?

Kawhi is an interesting one.

Had good numbers for the Spurs but not great and didn’t have the long stay there to make up for good but not great numbers.

Raptors was one year.

Clippers, he’s missed about 30 games a year on average.

No way we we’re retiring that bums number.

Kawhi is pretty handily the most hated athlete in Spurs history. As much as his accolades say he deserves it, I think the lack of any goodwill for him in the city will prevent his jersey from ever hanging in the rafters in SA.

Tbf that one year he beat the big 3 Heat he actually was great

I'd be ok if the Spurs do it.

It hurt initially when he did it, and the way it was done, but I don't care and the championship he was a part of was one of the sweetest after such a bitter defeat in 2013.

Sports fans can be so petty

Spurs for sure will. Raptors are a weird one. He arguably deserves it, but he also only spent one year their.
